Once in a while we get to do something weird and fun, and this is one of those times. We managed to get our hands on a cool collection of old preconstructed decks from Mirage through Odyssey! So this will be a special version of our old favorite the mystery box. Each player will reach in and get a random, preconstructed deck and 2 random packs from M12, M13 or M14 to round the precon’s out. This is a great way to get a taste of old school magic, or get a flash back to when you first got started.

And Finally. we are doing our very first event for the Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures games. This space dogfight game caught my eye at the last GAMA trade show I went to last year. You get to play with squads of really beautifully designed Star Wars Minis, and the mechanics are nice and straight forward. (Not the X hours, hordes of army’s and massive time and energy commitment of War-hammer, but something that was easy to grasp, but had a lot of depth to it.) I particularly love that an X-Wing can be anywhere from a rookie pilot, to Luke with R2 in tow. We’ve been looking for a chance to start regular organized play, and the Store Championships gives us a perfect opportunity.
